Troubleshooting
These items may solve your problem. Please check those you've done by changing - [ ] to - [X]
- Searched main docs for your problem www.PySimpleGUI.org
- Looked for Demo Programs that are similar to your goal. It is recommend you use the Demo Browser! Demos.PySimpleGUI.org
- If not tkinter - looked for Demo Programs for specific port
- For non tkinter - Looked at readme for your specific port if not PySimpleGUI (Qt, WX, Remi)
- Run your program outside of your debugger (from a command line)
- Searched through Issues (open and closed) to see if already reported Issues.PySimpleGUI.org
- Have upgraded to the latest release of PySimpleGUI on PyPI (lastest official version)
- Tried using the PySimpleGUI.py file on GitHub. Your problem may have already been fixed but not released
Detailed Description
When dealing with multiple windows, i tracked the focused window using the and events. When clicking a window, these events get called normally. When grabbing a window by the Title bar and moving it around however, it is then focused without the events. Simply clicking on the Title Bar however focuses it with the events.
Code To Duplicate
A short program that isolates and demonstrates the problem
import PySimpleGUI as sg
#create two layouts
win1Layout = [
[sg.Text('Win1')],
]
win2Layout = [
[sg.Text('Win2')],
]
#size is important to make aenough room on the title bar to grab the windows
win1 = sg.Window('Win1', layout=win1Layout, size=(300, 100), finalize=True)
win2 = sg.Window('Win2', layout=win2Layout, size=(300, 100), finalize=True)
#bind the events to the windows
win1.bind('<FocusIn>', "WIN1FocusIn")
win1.bind('<FocusOut>', "WIN1FocusOut")
win2.bind('<FocusIn>', "WIN2FocusIn")
win2.bind('<FocusOut>', "WIN2FocusOut")
while True:
activeWindow, event, values = sg.read_all_windows(timeout=500)
if event == sg.WIN_CLOSED:
break
if not event == "__TIMEOUT__":
print(event)

Research direction
Start by running the supplied minimal reproduction on Windows 10 and inspect the tkinter port's window focus and event-binding handling. Done means dragging a window by its title bar produces the expected FocusIn and FocusOut events consistently, while preserving the behavior of ordinary title-bar clicks.
